/tmp/tdesocket-global

We raised this observation in past discussions and bug reports. I am not using TDM. I start X from the command line with startx. Yet I see /tmp/tdesocket-global being created with the login user having full ownership to the directory. The logged-in user can view the contents of the directory, which is always empty. Why is the /tmp/tdeglobal-socket directory being created when TDM is not being used? What global socket connections are required when Trinity is run without TDM or in run level 3? Darrell
